This is a water harvesting concept that can collect water from both dew and rain. It is designed to be portable and affordable. It is inspired by nature in two of its key features. First, the shape and material of the rainwater-collecting membrane are inspired by the way bromeliads channel water into a central pond. Second, the structure supporting the membrane is inspired by a spider web, with its radial bamboo struts held in place by the tension of the membrane and by concentric radial cords, just as the radial cords of a spider web are separated by concentric radial threads.
